Every year, my family and I try to plan a family trip together to a place we have never been before. I remember in 2012, it was Cameron Highlands and Bukit Tinggi, 2013 Singapore, Port Dickson, UK and Legoland, Johor then 2014 Sabah, 2015 UK again, Langkawi and Sarawak and this year Bangkok, THAILAND :) I would consider myself a family person because family trips and family time are always my favourites. When I say family, yup my direct family members as well as some extended ones and even very close friends. In this context when I am referring to the trips above, its direct family. On Day 1, we went to the airport by taxi to KLIA and flew there by MAS. It took about 2 hours to reach there and in the plane, we were delighted to be served hot food once and then dessert and hot drinks later and for the first time ever, I received ice cream on the plane! I have been on several airlines and even long ones but never have I been served ice cream before. It was like tiny magnums chocolate

Dear all, Its July 2016 and now 2 years since I decided to wear the hijab. I always wanted to write a post on this but was not sure how and what to say.  One thing I know for sure is that I have always wanted to wear it but did not have the confidence to do so. I was worried then if people will accept me or look at me differently. If my capabilities were limited or if I would be discriminated. Especially since I am studying in the UK and the majority of people there have different beliefs. I kept this intention deep in my heart and mind and let it be. I thought I would go with the flow and wear it when I would feel comfortable enough and not end up taking it off afterwards. Sometimes it bothered me, thinking why am I making it hard for myself to do something that I want to do and be influenced by the society and people around me. I admit I do not come from a family background that is super religious. Alhamdulillah both my mum and dad practice Islam and show a good example. In t

Dear Blog,  Alhamdulillah I finished my final exam for my third year degree. I felt really good about my exams this time in a way that I felt that I have given my best and done all I could and now I will tawakkal and wait for the results. For those not familiar with the word, tawakkal means relying on God once you have done your part. Before I started blogging, I googled image LittleMissMeen and found so many lovely pictures that I even forgot I posted and have not seen in a long time. I admit that lately this academic year and last academic year I have been socially inactive online especially blogging. The most I do is post pictures and get offline- feel guilty sometimes when a friend asks if I've seen their photo because I rarely go online and scroll newsfeed so what I'll do is that I will open my close friends page individually at times and see what latest post they've put up and like it. But this does gets a bit hectic sometimes because I do have many friends hehe s

Dear all, How is everyone doing? Oh how I miss writing here, I seriously have been absorbed in my world of studies and the life of being in London that I have had less quiet, free time to be able to blog. I am so happy to write and hope everyone is doing very well. I do not know where to start. As for my life updates, this is my third year in the UK alhamdulillah and I am enjoying it more and more. You know like one of those situations when you don't really appreciate it too much at first then you learn to like it and actually grow fonder of the thing/person/ place? That's exactly how I feel being here in this beautiful country where I have learned to be more independent and nurture myself. Although I have grown fonder of being here, it does not mean that I miss my loved ones less. I actually had a dream last night being at my grandma's house and having the toddler version of my baby brother on my lap while watching TV. You know how adults generally stay or loo

Hello guys :D These are my Chubby Bunnies :D Like this video, they are so cute! I love both of you :*

Geology is so interesting! From the planets and the Sun and the Aurora to gemstones and now I'm researching into the deep sea.  SubhanAllah so many endless spectular creations :)

Dear readers,  This is my first post of 2015 HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! :) I feel excited now blogging for the first time this brand new year.  I have a few things to say I don't know where to start. Today is Friday and I remember exactly what I did this time last week. It was Boxing Day and I went shopping early in the morning! When I first heard boxing day I thought it was like *punch punch kinda boxing but it actually is a day that shops have sales and loads of items sold at a discounted price probably because they are boxing old items and replacing them with new ones? So yaay I got a few necessary things for myself but not too many because I am currently on the verge of overspending. Its not like I spend too much but London is definitely the most expensive place to live in the UK and only buying and paying for necessary items is already sweeping loads of your money away. But I like it in London because its so convenient to get around by tube, bus, walking- many people walk s

Hello and Good morning to my dear readers ;) I seriously did not realise I haven't blog in a month plus that I don't know where to start. As soon as my reading week ended (the last post was the last night before I started lectures again) I began to have coursework and more every single week until I handed in the last one last Wednesday yaay me :) Two Fridays ago, my girlfriends who are staying at the same place as me, Capucine and Natalie had a pizza movie night. We walked over to get Vegetarian pizza along the road then we watched 27 Dresses at the basement movie room. It was so fun and such a nice catchup! :)     This is my home-made salad on nights that  I am not so hungry so I just have a light dinner   Now I have started my Christmas break and since Wednesday I have been busy skyping with my besties, 4 so far and also my sister and family. 4 more planned skype sessions dued soon. And one time I skyped for 2 hours and 40 minutes *omg jawdrop I b

Dear blog, today was such a nice wrap up for this week. I had one reading week and it was just amazing and I have to say, its been pretty productive. I've been so busy at times I forgot I am on a reading week. I started this reading week last Friday night (my dad's birthday) and also my friends pre-birthday dinner. Persian food. Then on the beautiful Saturday, I went to Greenwich! It was amazingly beautiful and I had a good walk in the park. Fed wild ducks, the ducks in Hyde Park are so much tamer. These pigeons and ducks don't mind coming close to you and would even land on my hand. I began to panic and started making them fly away but they were so determined to eat omg they would come immediately back again. So I finished the food quickly and made our way to the Royal Observatory Greenwich. We witnessed that line that separated the East and West side of the world and took loads of pictures around the place. Then we bought souvenirs at the shop and then it started drizzlin

Dear Diary, Its drizzling outside and pretty gloomy but I've decorated my room recently to help make my day and surroundings look good even if the weather isn't (especially since Winter encourages people to stay indoors).  Well, it was pretty sunny last Friday afternoon, people say its the positive effect of global warming :) But it gets dark quickly, maghrib is at 5 and isyak at 630. Yesterday I went to Camden Market and bought 1 cream-coloured knitted cardigen and 1 emerald green tights (if it gets too tight I'll just use it for yoga). And yes speaking of yoga, I am now on the committee wee! The good news I wanted to say last Easter. So officially now I am in the committee, AGM was last March and before we got a Secretary I was partially the Secretary as well as the VP, pretty busy. SO glad we elected a new secretary last Tues. Classes are going good, I am enjoying the lectures and materials we are learning this term. A bit of geophysics and more geology. I have

Hi all, Thank you for reading. LittleMissMeen is very busy now and just wanted to inform that this blog will only be updated in October, comments will be replied then. Thank you and have a pleasant week :)

Hello there everyone! Its almost the end of August and little did I know that I would be writing about my holiday of the year! And yes I have voted this vacation to be one of the top best places I've been to. It was planned in August and the flight and hotel was confirmed a week before we went there. Sometimes best things happen unplanned, as organised as I try to be, I actually enjoy fun unplanned things sometimes, especially since I'm free. If you remember me blogging about Cameron Highlands back in 2012, you'll remember that that vacation was always on the top of the list and now we have KK sharing number 1 for my top family vacation list (every family member involved). I've always wanted to go to Sabah since I was in school days, I like nature and Sabah seems to be just the right place. I've never been there and have always wondered how it might be. While we were in the hotel after checkout last Saturday, my mum told us for the first time that since 10 years a
